WORLD ANIMAL REMEMBRANCE MONTH

If love alone could keep our pets here, they would live forever. But I know that all dogs go to heaven - along with the rest of our friends with fur, feathers, tails, or scales. And even long they cross over the rainbow bridge comes, their pawprints on our hearts remain stay with us on earth always, perhaps a little more so in September during World Animal Remembrance Month. And while none of us wants to think about the heartbreak our hardest goodbye brings, Eternal Paws shows us how you can best honor all the love they gave us in their life.
